Kinetronics 700001 Anti-static Microfiber Cloth, 10x18-Inch Tiger Cloth

Product Information

How much space do you need? An EPA can be as large or as small as you need it to be, but don’t go too big or too small as this will impact on the suitability of the static safe environment for your workers.

One of the most popular and usually a starting point for customers looking to implement anti static products is anti static flooring. Anti static products can offer a huge number of benefits for businesses. Anti static flooring is widely used by companies in the UK and Europe and is highly effective.Static Wisk products by Kinetronics include anti-static microfibre cloths which are specifically engineered for cleaning sensitive static prone surfaces. These charged surfaces are caused by a buildup of static energy, which is why they are particularly prone between a person’s skin and a charged surface. However, they can also flow between electrical equipment. Together, these features can pose a risk to your business’ equipment but, more importantly, also to the workers in the vicinity of the electrical equipment. Most antistatic clothing is made from polyester or cotton and then embedded with a line of carbon fibre. These fibres effectively create a Faraday Cage around the body of the person wearing the item of clothing. This shields and dissipates any charges generated from the clothing that could otherwise damage all the devices that are sensitive to static electricity. Antistatic clothing is designed to reduce the damage caused by static generation on the surface of clothes. It is typically used in industries where electrostatic discharge (ESD) can pose a hazard, such as electronics manufacturing or cleanroom environments. But how do you know if your clothes are antistatic? The standard for antistatic clothing usually involves measuring the electrical resistance of the fabric. In Europe, the standard for antistatic clothing is EN 1149-1, otherwise known as the IEC 61340-5-1 International Standard, which specifies requirements for protective clothing with electrostatic properties. The standard requires that garments should have a surface resistance of less than 2.5 x 10

If you want to set up an ESD protected area within your business’ work space, then there are a few different things that you will need to think about. These are summarised below: Another key benefit of investing in ESD products for your workers is the boost that this can offer for worker morale. It is a well known fact that happy workers are more productive. In turn, this means that happy workers will also give a better efficiency and return on investment!

This sudden flow of electricity is most commonly caused by the electrical system shorting out. This can sometimes even result in a spark which can be seen by the naked eye. As such, it’s easy to see why providing your team with protection is important in this regard. Indeed, with electrostatic discharges posing such a significant risk, why wouldn’t you invest in ESD equipment? Keeping your employees safe and protected is imperative for any employer, from both morality and a business profitability perspective. Comfortable and safe workers are happier, and this will also improve their morale and productivity. Providing them with safety equipment to protect them from the dangers of electrostatic discharge can be hugely beneficial in regards to this.
